My last post was over a year ago. In that time I have worked for three different companies, taken several trips, spoken at CodeGarden, and continued to deepened my knowledge of Umbraco programming and reignited my slightly dormant interest in business and marketing. None of these things have much to do with my blogging hiatus, however. Instead the silence is due to something I’m sure I’m not the only one to suffer from – timeline optimism. You see, about a year ago I decided that it was time to completely reprogram this blog. Not only a new design, but for the whole thing to be transitioned over to Umbraco 7.

Today I've just released version 1.1 of ContextConfig. The main update is support for overriding ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key"] to check the ContextConfig file before defaulting to the web.config value.

I’ve just released version 1 of the ContextConfig library on GitHub as well as an umbraco package. This C# library allows you to set configuration values dependent upon which web server environment the code is currently running using a basic XML config file.

Once you have spent some blissful hours getting acquainted with the finest CMS available, and after you have partaken of the responsive, helpful our.umbraco.org forum, you may start getting an urge to attend the annual Umbraco conference in Copenhagen, Denmark – Codegarden.

A Little Bit About Heather

I have been involved in website and software development for over 15 years and have been using (and loving) the
Umbraco CMS since 2006. In addition to technology, I specialize in process organization,
marketing, and business strategy.

Outside of my interests in business and programming, I enjoy cooking, making jewelry, gardening, and entertaining with my husband and kitty
in our East Harlem, NYC home. I also have interests in tech diversity, personal development, and productivity (and I know that is a bit geeky).

Please join my “Keep in touch” email list.

I will be sending out announcements on a not-very-regular schedule, just to keep people up-to-date on my various doings.
